New Children's Book Makes Eating Healthy Fun

Shari Bilt Boockvar, MS, RD, Shares Story of Austin, a Little Boy Who Learns
to Love Colorful Foods

LIVINGSTON, N.J., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Austin always wants dessert first -
for breakfast, lunch and dinner - and who doesn't? Recognizing the need for a
children's book on nutrition, registered dietitian and devoted mother Shari
Bilt Boockvar wrote "How Austin Got His Muscles" (published by AuthorHouse),
the new full-color illustrated book that shows young readers who are more
interested in eating junk food that eating balanced, colorful meals can be fun
too!

Meet Austin, an active little boy who loves to go to school and play sports
all year round. For all of these activities Austin needs his muscles, which
grow strong with healthy meals. But Austin prefers dessert!

Hoping to show Austin that healthy foods can be delicious too, Mommy and Daddy
make a deal: Austin can eat treats as long as he also eats a fruit or
vegetable of a color from the rainbow as well. As an added bonus, Mommy notes
that this game will make Austin strong, energetic, and better at playing
sports and games.

Soon, Austin is eating from all the colors of the rainbow. He has red
strawberries in his whole-grain cereal, bananas on his pancakes, and
blueberries in his oatmeal. For lunch, Austin enjoys oranges with his chicken
fingers or yellow zucchini with dip alongside green beans. In preparation for
dinner, he helps Mommy make a salad with red, yellow and green bell peppers
along with purple eggplant parmesan. All the foods of the rainbow provide
Austin with lots of energy and muscles. And since Austin is so good at eating
colorful foods, he is allowed to eat his favorite dessert. Now Austin realizes
that he can have his cake and eat it too!

Young readers and their parents will surely benefit from reading the
educational and fun story of "How Austin Got His Muscles." Boockvar
incorporates a delightful story for children with a practical guide for
parents that includes meal suggestions, tips and useful information about the
benefits to memory, energy and health from eating colorful fruits and
vegetables.
